GERMANY, May 14 Four men were killed and three mor tally hurt to-day by :he explosion of a cylinder aboard the German torpedo boat destroyer S-149, during maneu vers off Heligoland. Scores of Lives Saved When Explosives Are Discovered. Another Mansion Burned. pecial Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. LONDON. May 14.—Train wreck ing is the latest form of violence at tempted by the mljltant suffragettes. An attempt to-day was made by women to blow up a train on the London and Southwestern Railway, .hut the plot failed owing to the vigi lance of the guards. Three bombs were found in a crowded carriage of a passenger train. If an explosion had occurred, scores of lives would have been lost. Militant women burned The High lands, a mansion at Sandgate, caus ing damage estimated at $3,000. Sand- gate is two miles from Folkstone, overlooking the English Channel. Puncturing of motor car tires is another freak of the militants. Fre quented highways are being strewn with pieces of leather filled with small, sharp nails. “Votes for V\om- en” is stamped on the leather. Special guards were placed on pas senger trains on the Midland Rail road as the result of threats by mem bers of the Women’s Social and Po litical Union. v Precautionary meas ures now taken throughout England. Including guarding railway trains golf links, cathedrals, government buildings and cabinet ministers, are costing $50,000 a week. A death threat accompanied by a bomb was delivered at the chambers of Bow Strict Court to-day ad dressed to Magistrate Curtis. The death threat was signed “Suffra gette.’' The bomb, which was turned over to the police, consisted of a tube filled witty dynamite cartridges. Magistrate Curtis has sentenced a number of militant suffragettes. A dummy bomb was found near Westminster Abbey and confiscated by the police. Attached to it was a card upon which was written: “Votes for women. This is only a warning. Death to men who oppose us.” Gets Term Commuted To Nurse Dying Wife Jim Henry, one of the Floyd Coun ty “blind tiger” operators sentenced to twelve months in the chaingang and six months in jail, with an .alter native fine of $500, was granted a commutation of sentence to a $150 fine by Governor Brown Wednesday. Henry told the Prison <’oinmission his wife was suffering from cancer and was regarded by the physicians as incurable. He said his imprison ment was hastening her death and asked that he might be allowed to go home and assist in caring for her. Another case of interest was the appeal of Steve Tompkins to be al lowed to attend the funeral of his wife, who had Just died at Alamo, Wheeler County,. The request was granted.
